Chapter 394: The Terrifying Man is Scary (7)

Although the person in charge of the hotel was angry, he didn't dare to be aggressive to Ding Sankui after all, so he said with a humble face: "Brother Kui, maybe you really have a wrong eye." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info How can I easily forget what you have explained? If there's nothing else to do, then I'd better quit first! After speaking, he didn't wait for Ding Sankui to express any opinions, he hurriedly walked away, and stayed a little longer, if he didn't know what moths would come out......

Ding Sankui on the side was stunned on the spot, gasping a few breaths. Then he instinctively moved the pillow on his bed, but fortunately, the gold box was still lying there. Ding Sankui hurriedly locked the door, carrying the gold box in his arms, ready to sit and wait for dawn, the haunting in the house is not terrible, I am afraid that the gold box will be lost......

The so-called sitting and waiting for dawn is also "rhetoric", verbally, really sat for a while, Ding Sankui couldn't bear it, his eyes fought, and slowly fell asleep, and when Ding Sankui woke up again, it was already more than ten o'clock in the day, after Ding Sankui woke up, he didn't care about anything else, the most important thing was to look at the gold box, fortunately, the gold box was intact, and there was nothing strange happening in the guest room. Fayun Temple (Editor's note: The temple is a pseudonym, do not sit in the opposite number.) )

Fayun Temple, founded in the Southern Song Dynasty, is an ancient temple with a history of 1,000 years. However, due to the location, the incense of the temple is not very strong, and many locals do not even know that there is such a temple. The author doesn't know if it's true or not, after hearing this story about Ding Sankui, I once went to Fayun Temple on the spot. Became a monk for a few days. The author's kind of monk. is a formality. It's like an urban white-collar worker who is idle in the city, and then chooses a big weekend, drives to the countryside, and experiences the so-called farmhouse. The author went to Fayun Temple to become a monk, in addition to field trips, more or less also a little idle egg pain.

The author went to Fayun Temple to know the mystery of the temple, because the incense of Fayun Temple is not prosperous. As early as three years ago, I was contracted out, the first time I heard that this temple is still contracted, I was arranged by Manager Wang, the person in charge of a religious industry company, under his arrangement, to help me achieve the plan to go to Fayun Temple to become a monk.

Although Fayun Temple has a long history, it does not cover a very large area, about ten acres. The temple has been renovated many times, and there are 11 resident monks in the temple. I really don't know, the geographical location is indeed a little unsatisfactory. At the end of a village, the village looks like an economic situation that is still very average, especially the roads, most of which are country roads, and if you drive in both directions, you will be blocked. I don't know if it's the original style of the village or the planning and design, in short, the village is in the shape of gossip, that is, you have to take a detour when you enter this village, if you don't have an acquaintance to take you away, you may really be trapped inside. You say, with such a geographical location, can Fayun Temple become popular?

Bypass the village, is a river, this can be understood, there must be a river in front of the temple, there is a small bridge on the river can go straight to the temple, this is the formula, go to any temple is like this, the first Buddha statue to enter the temple is the head of the Buddha, it is said that the gesture of this head is very saying, what kind of gesture represents can be fasted, accommodation, what kind of gesture represents can only be fasted and can not stay, what kind of gesture represents can not be fasted, accommodation...... Everything has a saying, if you really want to go to Huazhai to stay or something, you should understand when you see that Toutuo, and you don't need to go to the temple to chase the abbot and ask if you can eat and stay overnight.

The author because of the introduction of Manager Wang, so the abbot of Fayun Temple still attaches more importance to it, and learned that the author has arrived, personally came out to greet the author, because of this, so the author did not see clearly what kind of gesture is the head of Fayun Temple? The abbot who greeted the author was already seventy years old, his face was dry and kind, but his spirit was strong, and his name was Duyi. People should really have the ability to practice, when the author goes, just like now, it is a dog day, under the scorching sun, the highest temperature reaches 378 degrees, people walk naked outdoors will be sweating profusely, but the abbot of Duyi is not afraid, wearing a heavy robe, a calm face, no sense of heat, the author once asked the abbot of Transition Yi: "Master, on such a hot day, you can take off your robe, there is no need to wear it all the time!" Hot. Abbot Duyi's answer was unusually calm, "The heat is my body, my heart is very cold, the robe is still worn, the donor is a distinguished guest after all!" Although this answer is more idealistic, it is also a way of self-cultivation: no matter how upside down your world is, my heart is as calm as water.

The abbot of Duyi took the author to browse the Fayun Temple, while browsing and introducing, the author is also while visiting, while worshiping the Buddha, although the temple is small, but after all, it is stop-and-go, so, a circle down, there is more than an hour. During this period, the abbot of Duyi was not irritable, and when he saw me worshipping him, he also worshipped, and did not blame me for delaying time because I was worshipping the Buddha. I felt guilty and hurriedly asked for a hurry to end, and Abbot Duyi's reply was: "It is still excellent to do good deeds and worship the Buddha, and the donor worships the Buddha, and the old man is naturally happy." Why do you have to end it in a hurry? ”

The author in the abbot of Duyi, after visiting the Fayun Temple, and finally the abbot of Duyi took the author to the backyard of Fayun Temple, this backyard is like the courtyard in Beijing, the scale is not large, there are two, one is the monks live, the other is for us these foreign pilgrims to live, connecting the two backyards is a kitchen, a firewood kitchen, an aunt in the kitchen, according to reports, the real identity of this aunt is a pilgrim, come purely to help, do not receive a salary, pilgrims have a special obligation, That is, everyone takes turns to volunteer in the monastery, one person or two or three days, according to their own heart. There is a special guy in the temple to cook, and the aunt is to help buy vegetables, wash and wash vegetables, there are not many tasks, and its main purpose is similar to the author, and it is self-cultivation to come to this temple. After the introduction of the abbot, he arranged a guest room for the author, which was extremely simple, with a bed, a table, two or three chairs, and a wardrobe for pilgrims. There are only two appliances in the entire room: the electric light and the electric fan.

After the author made proper arrangements, Abbot Duyi retired. The room was relatively closed. It's also stuffy with the fan on. This is for the author, who is used to blowing air conditioners on hot days. That's definitely sin. Before coming, Manager Wang repeatedly explained that there was no signal at the temple, and there were no more power outlets, so the author who was going to bring a laptop and ipad to the past could only reluctantly give up those modern equipment, and brought a mobile phone and charger, which was considered light. That aunt is also more enthusiastic. Came to the author's guest room, asked what dishes to eat, and after a while she went to purchase, of course the author said casually, the temple eats vegetarian food, and it is impossible to ask indiscriminately, "follow the customs"!

My aunt went grocery shopping, and the author was left alone in the backyard, and it was too hot in the guest room to stay. In the past, when I was free, I was a computer and a mobile phone. Here, don't expect that the abbot of Duyi has prepared some scriptures, but the author really doesn't have that kind of wisdom root, turned a few pages, just had, tasteless, fortunately in the location of Fayun Temple, although remote, but the environment is still there, back to the mountain, front of the river, the author in the periphery of the Fayun Temple turned around, but also in a comfortable mood, especially the bamboo forest behind the temple, the summer wind blows, slowly make a sound, occasionally birds fly by, it is also a good "picture" of moving and quiet, silent is better than sound. Seriously! If readers really have time, they might as well put down their work for a while, stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and come to this isolated place, where there is really the artistic conception of empty mountains and new rains and late autumn. The author walked around, and there was no such irritability, and the body was slightly sweating, which was no longer normal, at this time the aunt came back from shopping for vegetables, carrying a basket of vegetables, and filled half a basket of vegetables, the author was depressed: What about more than ten people in this temple, this is only half a basket of vegetables, is it enough to eat? The author later learned that this is a dish that Abbot Duyi asked his aunt to add for me, which can be regarded as a special preferential treatment.

Most of the monks in the temple have their own fields, and after having the fields, they can be self-sufficient and have enough food and clothing. Many people have eaten vegetarian food, especially vegan feasts in some high-end restaurants, which are no less expensive than seafood dinners. The ingredients made with gluten and shiitake mushrooms to describe the appearance of chicken thighs and pork belly are so vivid that they are mouth-watering to watch, not to mention the enjoyment? It is precisely because of this misleading that many people mistakenly believe that the monks eat such vegetarian feasts on a daily basis, but this is not the case. The monks' meals are really simple, the dishes are nothing more than green vegetables, tofu and shiitake mushroom gluten, and the staple food is nothing more than noodles, steamed buns, rice and gruel. Eat these for three meals a day, and if you eat one or two meals once in a while, it may still feel good, the list is elegant, and it is still a healthy food. If you were to eat it every day, you would have to ...... In the author's opinion, few people can hold on.

Many people questioned why the monks ate tofu for their meals, perhaps without greens, shiitake mushrooms, or gluten...... But only tofu is necessary, and there is a reason: because monks do not eat meat dishes, there is no protein to supplement. Tofu has a very high content of vegetable protein, so it has become the only source of protein for monks.

Abbot Duyi felt that letting the author just eat tofu and vegetables would more or less wronged the author, so he asked his aunt to buy some other vegetarian dishes, and the aunt was also more careful, and bought me a little mung beans, saying that it was to boil some mung bean soup for me to drink, which was conducive to cooling off. I also bought black fungus, flat tips, and loofahs, anyway, these are relatively high-end dishes among vegetarian dishes, so it can be said that people are also warm-hearted.

Dinner time in the monastery is usually five o'clock, and the author has to add: Being a monk in China is relatively happy, why? You can have three meals a day, in foreign countries, such as Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, and other Southeast Asian countries where Buddhism is prevalent, you can eat two meals a day, and the technical term is called: no food at noon. It's a practice, and it's a manifestation of willpower. Of course, this is only relative, in fact, the dinner in the temple is also very simple: a bowl of rice, a serving of tofu and vegetables. Just these two things, if you meet the birthday of so-and-so Bodhisattva, the rice is changed to noodles, and it is the same. Abbot Duyi means that when eating, the author and the monks eat separately, try not to affect the author's diet and rest rules, after all, at five o'clock in the afternoon in the past, the author is either at work, or on the way to get off work, this time to have dinner, it is indeed a little early. But the purpose of the author's visit this time was to feel the life of Fayun Temple, and on the other hand, I was also curious, especially wanting to see how the monks ate, so I rejected the suggestion of Abbot Duyi. Abbot Duyi was not annoyed, and saw that the author insisted on eating together, so he instructed his aunt. I arranged it together.

On the eve of the meal. It was the time when the monks were doing their homework. Generally, monks do their homework before meals, which are morning, middle and evening, but there are also temples in some places where they need to do their homework four times, and the extra one is a bedtime class, that is, before going to sleep, everyone does their homework again. The scene of doing homework was very shocking, although there were only more than ten people in Fayun Temple. But when you do your homework, the "sound of reading" chanting Buddha and chanting sutras can really be "sound in your ears". Because there is no punctuation in the Buddhist scriptures, many long sentences are recited in one breath, so the speed of speech is still very fast, if it is not for the format of the scriptures in my mind, just by reading, it is obviously impossible to keep up with this rhythm. Of course, there are some scriptures that don't require you to be fast, but to recite them slowly. Then it depends on the abbot who sits opposite, and the wooden fish and the bell in his hand are the "conductors" that control the rhythm. Sometimes a paragraph is recited and a wooden fish is tapped. Shake the bell at the end of a chapter.,It's all very particular.,It's hard to understand without having seen it in person.。 The author sits in the back row, sitting cross-legged in a serious manner, pinching the thumbs and middle fingers of both hands, although I can't chant, but following it, feeling the ethereal spirit of that day, is indeed a measure to purify the soul.

The monks dine, pay attention to the "food does not speak, sleep silent", from the banquet to clean up the whole process of leaving the table, you can not hear a word of speech, originally the author also expected to interview the monks during the meal, but the fact does not seem to be feasible. Because the author's meal is different from the monks, it seems a little abrupt, but the monks "turn a blind eye", and really do not like things, do not feel sorry for themselves, this is definitely a realm, you can try to think: if in the unit, everyone in the unit sent something, but there is no yours, what would you think? Or maybe you're different from others, yours is the best. What would you think?

After the meal, the monks will line up to take a bath, the monks take a bath is not really applicable to the big bathhouse, can not say that there is a river in front, everyone quickly jumped down the river to take a bath, this is not realistic, it is impossible, because Buddhism also has the same sex, so this has long been guarded, monks can not be in the same pool, this must not be a joke. saw a group of monks taking a bath together on TV, either these monks were too free and easy, to the point that wine and meat were worn through the intestines, or the choreographer was making nonsense and was not in a proper manner.

After the monks took a bath, they had a little free time, some played chess, some read books, and some made tea and talked about it, this time is the real time for the author to communicate with them, because this time the author in the past, the biggest purpose is the Ding Sankui incident, so when communicating with these monks, they will talk about Ding Sankui intentionally or unintentionally, but I don't know if these monks really don't know or it is inconvenient to say, anyway, none of the monks have an impression of Ding Sankui. The author had no choice but to give up.

At eight o'clock in the evening, it is the time for Fayun Temple to rest on the lights, the monks are in place, they have gone to sleep, this time let the author go to sleep, it is obviously a fantasy, the author is not good to sit, sleep is not good, fidgeting, feel this long night, very terrifying, during the day can also go to the bamboo forest, go to the mountain to walk and play, this night the black light is blind, where can you go? Such a life of going to bed early and waking up early is really not suitable for the author.

All in all, the author took Fayun Temple for two days and two nights, and on the third day, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I took my leave and left. It is true that the incense in Fayun Temple is not prosperous, and there are few pilgrims, but there are still pilgrims such as aunts who take turns to volunteer. The temple in the hospitality, the author is not thin, although can not be clothed and fed, but can also be relatively comprehensive, but, the monks are few words, and they rarely communicate, so the author's visit, to understand some of the details of Ding Sankui The purpose was not achieved, but the two days made the author deeply feel the "wonderful" of Buddhism, Buddha, is indeed a great immeasurable respect that can make people's hearts ethereal, is a kind of "moderation" that is missing in our utilitarian society......

Ding Sankui believes in Fayun Temple, and must have had a similar experience with readers, but Ding Sankui is more utilitarian, and the author is purely "playing soy sauce".

After Ding Sankui arrived at Fayun Temple, he bought incense with ease, first knelt down for a while, and then faced the Daxiong Treasure Hall, folded his hands, prayed silently, and after praying, he came to the side of the Daxiong Hall alone, there is a counter here, which is dedicated to selling some amulets and other things, Ding Sankui said to the monk in the cabinet: "Master, I have been haunted by evil spirits recently, and I need to buy a magic weapon to exorcise ghosts." Which ritual is right for me? ”

The monk looked at Ding Sankui carefully and said, "Are you sure you are haunted by evil spirits?" Ding Sankui nodded in surprise and said, "Yes! So Ding Sankui told the monk about his strange experience in the past two days, and of course, the matter of the golden box was hastily skipped...... (To be continued.) )
